J.K. Rowling’s ‘The Casual Vacancy’ book cover art released!

When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock.
Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.
Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity, and unexpected revelations?
A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J. K. Rowling’s first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other.
The Casual Vacancy will be released September 27, 2012.

I am so, SO excited!
 Muse e J. K. Rowling no mesmo mês!!

Clues suggest J.K. Rowling’s new book will be in the mystery/crime genre

Yesterday’s announcement that Harry Potter author is publishing her first adult novel this year sent shockwaves through the fandom.

Many questions are still left unanswered: What’s the title? Is it a series? What’s the release date? What’s the genre? Today, a little light MAY be shed on the latter question.

The Guardian has rounded up a few comments from insiders and looked at her her editor at Little, Brown to conclude it’s likely to be in the mystery/crime genre:

But yesterday’s (detail-free) announcement about her new book for adults gives a vital clue that she’s been writing a crime novel. It has the fingerprints all over it of the hugely respected editor David Shelley, a man who counts Dennis Lehane, Val McDermid, Carl Hiaasen and Mark Billingham amongst his authors and who comes from a background steeped in crime and thriller writing. And now he’s going to be editing Rowling’s new book.

I met Shelley five years ago when I was writing a profile of him for the Bookseller. He’d already made quite a mark on publishing: he was publishing director of Allison & Busby at just 23. An independent press strong in crime and thriller writing, Shelley dragged A&B back into profit, introducing a line of library hardback crime novels and eventually catching the eye of Little, Brown, which he joined as editorial director for crime and thrillers.

Today, he’s publisher. He’s created a host of thriller bestsellers: Panic by Jeff Abbott, The Shakespeare Secret by JL Carrell, The Brutal Art by Jesse Kellerman. He’s taken over editing major brand-name (crime) authors including Billingham, Nelson DeMille and Duncan Falconer.

Winning Rowling for Little, Brown, though, is his greatest coup yet. All we know at the moment about the new book is that it’s “very different to Harry”, as Rowling tweeted this morning. (This “cover” on her agent’s website gives even less away). Knowing her fondness for crime writing (Dorothy L Sayers is “queen of the genre”, she’s said in the past), and taking Shelley’s background into account, I’m going to stick my neck out and say it’s a mystery. Not a slasher thriller sort of a book, more a Poirot-esque detective story.

The crime world is all aflutter at the prospect, in any event. “Wouldn’t it be funny if JK Rowling’s first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh? My word yes,” tweeted Ian Rankin. “Might explain why she left the neighbourhood (me, McCall Smith, Atkinson near-neighbours) and moved across town … She’s certainly a fan of the traditional whodunit.”

“Nice to see that JK Rowling has such good taste in editors. I guess I’m willing to share David Shelley… Do you think her choice of Mr David means she’s writing a thriller/crime novel?” wondered McDermid, adding: “If Mr David inspires JKR the way he does me, we’re in for something rather tasty.”

Desculpem mas,O QUE É ISTO?! OHMEUDEUS!
O estado de excitação em que me encontro (eu e mais uns quantos ziliões através do mundo) é insuportável! Jo,what are you doing to us? Another book? A CRIME ONE?! Are you fucking me?
It's gonna be INSANE! MAD! I am so,so,SO freaking anxious right now!
Imaginem , daquela cabeça saiu Harry Potter, HARRY FREAKING POTTER, o enredo que demorou 5 anos a criar e 10 anos a ser lançado; um enredo sem pontas soltas, perfeito!
 Um novo livro ao genero Agatha  Christie e Arthur Connan Doyle, maybe? O que vai ser de mim!

J.K. Rowling announces she’s releasing new novel for adults!

The Blair Partnership, J.K. Rowling’s new agency, has announced that the Harry Potter author is publishing a new book for adults.

The site reads:

We are pleased to announce That our client, J.K. Rowling, will be releasing a new novel for adults. Further details will be announced later in the year.

The Blair Partnership is a literary agency. We are in the business of taking care of authors, their talent, their careers and their success.

Publisher’s Marketplace indicates Little, Brown won the rights to the book and a longer quote from Rowling is below…

“Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series, which has been published so brilliantly by Bloomsbury and my other publishers around the world. The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life.”
